Splunk Enterprise Security

GeoIP works in Search but not in Enterprise Security?

Hello,

I'm having a strange problem where geoip works fine in Splunk search but not within the Enterprise Security app. In ES, I get the error "unknown search command 'geoip'". I can't figure out why it works in Search but not in ES. This problem is affecting some of our dashboards (any panel that uses geoip has the "unknown search command 'geoip'" error.

We are running the latest version of Splunk and ES (Splunk 6 and ES 3). Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks

I believe the maps app is still not showing compatibility with Splunk 6, you could swap the geoip command for the new iplocation command

I hope that helps

Thanks, I'll remove the Google maps app (I found it to be unreliable/unstable anyway) and use the iplocation command instead.
